ABRAHAM SLOTOR-OFF, OF NEW IRVING SAGER.

. Application filed March 11, 1914. Serial110 823391.

To all whom it, may. concern 5 Be it known that I, ABBA-HAM SLoTonorr, a citizen of Russia, residing at New York, York and State of -'New York, have invented certain vnew and useful Improvements in Hats; and I do following tube a full,

to. which it appertains to make and use the 'siime.

This" invention relates to'hats and more particularly to hats made of flimsy or light material for Wear in )varm weather.

Aii objectof this invention is to provide be secured in the fa hat to maintain the flimsy material (if-which said hat is made in extended A farther object QfOllTlQ'd in stitching material together to form a Further obj cats will ieces of flimsy" at.

following specification, appended claims and drawing in which, h ,d

'Figlure 1 is'a perspective view of a PI???- ,type'of hat"to which perspective view of a portion of the hat the interior of the crown. Irithe manufacture of silken hats for sumnieriwea r in which, the crown of the hat isfiformed-bf a series of segments of thin silken material, it is desired to maintain the "crown of the hat in extended position,

- and at the "same time not impair the efliterial, a;

ciency ofsuch hats for comfort. In the type of h'atdesc'ribed herein the several segments re uire stitcl iiigito hold the same together an iiiiview'thereofyit is possible to secure strips of, resilientmaterial n the same process of forming the seams incident to the meeting edges ofsaid segmen." a

Referring to the draw ngs, there is shown a hatfin which the crown isformed of a series of segments 10,."of a thin silken mationsof'said segments, an at -brim 12 encircling I berizedj: fabric;

16 are preferably continuous ;of the hat to the other theicrown, which-strips overlap one another :as shown in Fig. 2." I w Y of this invention is tosecuregi'fstrips of resilient material in the: seems be apparent from the i this invention is applicable, and Fig. 2 is a fragmentary- 30 showing band 11 encircling thewide pori v p 1' crossed 1 resilient arches YORK, n.

I under said seam is; by". the stitching 15.. A stri of resilient materialIG is secured by theistitch? ing 15, between the binding 14 and the edges" the lower edge of said band. The edges of the segments .are stitched to] one another and form seams 13. The extreine edgesof said segments are then folded under the segments when in the usual con 1 structiom'abinding is secured of-the ',segn ients.1 0, and this strip of, re-1.

'silient material maybe a thin'strip of -rub- By inserting a strip:' of; ,re-L

silient'n'iate rial under the binding 14; an inns:

proved form" f-reinforcement may be had;

as the binding'14 is not injured in treating the samewith' any, materialto render it of sufiieient stitfnessrand purpose; The-strips oft-resilient material This application is not restricted to the particular type of hat shown in the drawing,

as any preferred shape of crown may be provided with strips of reinforcing inatej rial, when the fabric constituting said crown is a flimsy silken material.

.It is apparent thatHwhen a. hat inadeiri accordance with this invention is worn in the warin'weather, the crown is maintained in extended positionand' thereby allows a circulation '0 air through the mesh of the fabric, and, at the same time, the crown is spaced from the head ofthe wearer to pro tect the head of the wearer from the s'i'in' or heat. H

Modifications may be made in the par ticular mounting of the resilient material,

as Well as equivalents of any specific kind of resilient material and therefore this .application is not restrictedto the specific form shown.

Having thus described my invention, I claim:.y
